No, you only ridicule us when in your so-easily-offended-eyes we "wrong" someone. You never speak up, you pansies, when you see 5 Lockheed C-5s stocked to the fucking rafters with food and supplies, landing at a cracked-up airfield after a hurricane or earthquake flattens a place not 24 hrs after the event. If you people are so offended by our military, then fucking LEAVE, go to some country that doesn't have one. I can't think of a more respected outfit in the USAF than PJs. The physical I could almost tolerate, but I frankly didn't have the mental fortitude at that time I tried to hack the mental challenges. These guys, the para-rescue, they never have to buy their own drinks, anywhere they go. Īnd this one always makes me tear up a bit: So That Others May Live.

The guys who sit in silos waiting for the order get to wear that one, as do the folks that fix 'em. The Pocket Rocket is one - the Missile badge.

One Star Trek fan site claims that the Starfleet logo never even appeared on the original Star Trek or Star Trek: The Next Generation series, and wasn't created until after the Air Force's logo, during the fourth season of Deep Space Nine (around 1996), by American graphic designer Mike Okuda: "Well, that was certainly the joke we made 15 years ago."īut it may actually be the other way around. ![]() ![]() "So the Air Force originally stole the Star Trek logo?" someone asked him on Twitter - prompting this wry reply. government took a thing from a TV show and made it the official emblem of a branch of the military, " tweeted a culture writer for the New York Times.īut conservative national security commentator John Noonan argued it looks more like the logo for America's Air Force Space Command (founded in 1982). The Pentagon and White House did not immediately respond to CNBC's query as to why the Space Force and Star Trek logos - both with blue globes, white stars, and swooshed rings around a sleek space ship - looked similar.
